Rosholt Middle School - 04

Summary:

Rosholt Middle School - 04 is a public middle school in Rosholt, South Dakota, serving 55 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Rosholt School District 54-4, which is ranked 103 out of 126 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rosholt Middle School - 04 faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, below-average test scores, and inconsistent performance across student subgroups and grade levels. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is generally below the state and district averages, with only 29.55% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 50.04%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 85th out of 143 South Dakota middle schools in 2021-2022 to 123rd out of 147 in 2023-2024.

The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 21.43% to 32.73%, suggests that the student population may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact their academic performance. Additionally, the fluctuations in the school's student-teacher ratio may indicate staffing challenges, which could contribute to the inconsistent academic performance across grades and subjects. Despite these challenges, the school's spending per student has increased from $10,113 in 2020-2021 to $12,288 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
